Philanthro-FEST

In an effort to educate students, faculty and staff about the importance of giving back, the Seattle University Alumni Association is hosting the very first “Philanthro-FEST.” The series of events, which take place the week of Oct. 9, will cover the many ways we can support our communities, not just financially but with time, talents and resources.
